Episode notes
Don't Rush To Legal Conclusions
- Wait for facts before deciding in high-profile use-of-force cases.
- Criticize policy and training without declaring immediate criminal guilt.
Legal Standard Trumps Intuition In Shootings
- Use-of-force law focuses on the officer's reasonable belief, not on a suspect's actions after being shot.
- Being outside policy can be unprofessional without meeting the criminal threshold for murder.
Prioritize Procedure Over Spectacle
- Avoid policing strategies that prioritize spectacle over safety.
- Track suspects later by plate and evidence rather than creating dangerous public stunts.
